| While it's well known that humans will screw anything too small to eat them and that has two legs, it's less well known just what kind of half humans are out there... From what I've seen so far, there are definitely half elves, half-elementals, and half fey, and it makes sense for half nekos, half succubi and maybe half angels to exist... What possibilities are there for other mixed types? Half nagas? Half Centaurs? Half Harpies? And what kind of humans would be so kinky (and lucky?) to produce such beings? Oh, wait, Harpies do that kind of thing all the time.  And no, those humans aren't lucky at all. _________________ All that is born dies, All that is planned fails, All that is built crumbles, This will always be true.

Yeah, I would love to see some interesting breeds of nekos, maybe based off cats in the real world, or maybe not. Dunno, I'll think about it. Most likely staring at my cats' color patterns for several hours.

Fantasy novels and games are full of human hybrids that can easily be adapted for a Felarya species.

Are there half-elemental/half-humans? I had an idea for a human/elemental hybrid, but they're not exactly a crossbreed. ^^ It's difficult to explain, still working on a write-up for them.
| Feign wrote: | | What possibilities are there for other mixed types? Half nagas? |
Maybe a Yuan-Ti sort of species? Snakelike, but with a fully humanoid form.
| Feign wrote: | | Half Centaurs? |
This is somewhat more difficult to visualize, since Centaurs are already half-human in form. Generally, taking the "halfbreed of a chimeric race" idea too far is going to yield creatures which should have less of a resemblance to either parent race.
| Feign wrote: | Half Harpies? And what kind of humans would be so kinky (and lucky?) to produce such beings?
Oh, wait, Harpies do that kind of thing all the time. And no, those humans aren't lucky at all. |
Again, the possibilities are there, but getting carried away with this would be a bad thing. In my opinion, it would be better to come up with new, original races, rather than continually developing halfbreeds of every chimeric race Felarya currently has.
... But that's just my opinion.

It's a bit more complex than that. Basically, there's two loose meanings of "tribe"; the true meaning refers to a social grouping that hasn't developed into a state. In this sense, a tribe can consist of people from different species/races/families. But a tribe can also refer to a clan or lineage, since many "true" tribes are organized by familial lines or kinship anyways. ... That's the short version, anyhow.  _________________ " Common Sense tells us, 'If it isn't broken, don't fix it!'."

Go for it! It would be interesting to see what kind of culture beings like that would develop on Felarya, and how they view Humans and Nagas.  _________________ " Common Sense tells us, 'If it isn't broken, don't fix it!'."

Selective heredity? I've just made up that term for the semihumanoid (read hybrid) species inhabiting the world I'm working on. |

| While the concept of Half-Breeds IS interesting, odds are they'd either be sterile or an impossibility beyond genetics [in my opinion] due to the genetic issues. What's to say human sperm is any more effective with an angel's egg then a boar, or a Neko's egg to a faerie sperm then a wild cat? If it were possible, however? The biggest problems would come from the actual process of fertilizing the other species. I mean, it's mind boggling to even try to think how a humanoid would mate with a Naga actually capable of producing offspring. Faeries can likely get around this, as can maybe a few of the other species known not to grow THAT big, but it'll still pose a problem for most relations...

| I figure that humans, nekos and elves at least are close enough genetically to reproduce. It would be unlikely for a half elf or half neko to be fertile. Fey don't care about such silly things as genetics.  Half fey may even have a pretty good chance at being fertile. For nagas, I figured it's possible because they have enough human body to include the human-style reproductive organs, superficially, at least. The thing in my mind that makes half-nagas unlikely is the unlikeliness of the two courting each other. Genetics are definitely too different to produce fertile offspring. As for centaurs... Well, there are people into that sort of thing... I would think they fall into the same category as nagas for unlikelihood... Dridders are a solid no. Elementals, I suppose are a no as well, unless there is crazy magic involved. NOTE: I'm obviously thinking of members of the species that are of similar scale... Vivian isn't going to get preggy from playing with her food.  Do consider though that there are occasionally giant humans and more often giant species of elves. _________________ All that is born dies, All that is planned fails, All that is built crumbles, This will always be true.

See my above post. There's still the issue of infertility and someone sleeping with the other. While I guess it's true Dragons have it easier due to human forms, most of the time they're used just to fit in with humans so as to make whatever it is they're doing easier._________________ | Commander Fleyitch wrote: | | Ogryns.
